Coyote, the Aero Rooms boarding house was down the street, and was already torn down. This is the Fitzgerald Rooms building. A dumpster outside is a tell-tale sign of either demo or rehab. I bet this one stays. According to DOGIS, there is no demo order out on the building.

Cindy Gonzalez: World-Herald staff writer wrote:Paladino’s vision is a dozen high-end, mostly one-bedroom apartments, ranging from 500 to 1,000 square feet, that are to be restored in the spirit of Boston’s Back Bay area, where he once lived.

Units facing Cuming Street each would have their own entrance to a second-floor dwelling. The wide sidewalk would be transformed partially into an outdoor courtyard with brick columns and a wrought-iron gate. “It will be a secure, private kind of place for tenants to congregate and socialize,” Paladino said.

A second courtyard for tenants would be behind the building’s planned glass and brick facade. Rents would range from about $800 to $1,200.

When I was in elementary school, my parent owned The Fitzgarald sometime in the 1960s to the 80s I believe. My father ran off with the money he got for the place. He actually ran off with everything his wife and children sacrificed for.

"The Fitzgerald at 17th and Cuming Streets was purchased by owner Dave Paladino in July 2014. Renovations will start in February and finish at the end of next year. The apartment complex has 11 units of one and two bedrooms ranging from $800 to $900 a month."
